Haha, reading this quote made me LOL. MacT better than any GM, I think not. Hilarious.

Anyway, looking back at the comments when this trade went down is funny. Ya, we could find a diamond in the rough in the 5th round but I'll take an NHL player in their mid 20s everyday of the week over a 5th round pick.

I think Russell will be here for a while and will be one of our leaders when we become a contender. He fits what this team is and we all likely couldn't be happier with the way he has stepped up since Gio went down.

My only ask is that he shoots more often, that is all.
